How to Use a Cane for Better Balance?
One as part of falls prevention education we want to discuss on how to properly use a Walking Cane many times patients will come in with a cane that they've bought themselves and not know how to use it or how to correctly fit it for their height so that's what i'm going to go over today is how to appropriately fit it how to use it when walking and then how to also use it when going up and down the stairs when you're sizing a cane to you it's ideal to have an adjustable one with the pull and click buttons that way you can adjust the height so when you pull it up to yourself you want to stand tall right next to it with your arm down straight you don't want to look down at it but rather you want to stand up tall wherever your wrist bends is the height that you want the cane to be you can see this one's a little too tall for me so i'm going to adjust it down i'm going to take it down two notches standing tall and re-measure right where my wrist bends there should be a small bend in the elbow when you step forward you want it to be um moving with the leg that you want to help keep steady.
